"Always find Novotel Christchurch Airport a wonderful, friendly and inviting place to finish a New Zealand Holiday. The approximately to the Airport makes those early morning flight bearable"

Brookside Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great very new place. Good location south of town. Parking limited but done street parking available. Recommended as good value"

Harewood Lodge

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a pleasant stay. However, it needs to be clearer that the lower-priced options have a shared bathroom (the pictures of the bathroom should not be included in the room pictures). We were able to upgrade rooms, and it was much nicer. Be mindful that there isn't usually a person at reception and if you want to get in contact, you need a New Zealand based number."

Commodore Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay Best for the money that we paid. Great restaurant with fantastic food. Staff were polite, helpful and responsive. Good vibes all around, suitable to all kinds of travellers. My whole family loved it. Will recommend anyone to give it a try, won’t be disappointed."
